  1. Because you can't truly enjoy the highs unless you remember the lows.
  2. With Ehlinger in his third year as a firmly-entrenched starter, and with a good amount of talent coming up behind him, it seems (knock on wood) fair to say that we're out of the post-Colt era of QB mediocrity for the time being. So now that we can start to talk about that era in the past tense, if we're ranking the QBs from the 2010 until ~2018 QB drought, who is at the bottom of the list? Was it (Super Bowl Champion) Garrett Gilbert, the High School phenom who never lived up to expectations? Was it (2011 aggy destroyer) Case McCoy, who made some of the best and unimaginably worst plays of the last decade? Was it (single game total offense record holder) Jerrod Heard, the second highest rated dual-threat QB recruit behind Deshaun Watson who wound up playing WR? Was it Swoopes? Ash? Someone else? I'd say let's limit it to guys who actually played. (Yes, Kai Locksley was a guy who was in our QB room at one point in time, but that's no fun to talk about.)
  3. Watching Case McCoy scamper off like a jackass to accidentally beat Texas A&M will never not make me laugh.
  4. November 28, 1997 vs Texas A&M. My Dad drove us out to College Station to watch aggy beat us in the worst storm that I've ever seen in my life. I couldn't see the game because of the torrential downpour, and when we fired Smokey the Cannon in the rain, the rain push all the smoke back over the stands making it even worse. But I got to say that I saw Ricky Williams playing in the flesh, and I got to see Mackovic get fired.
  5. I just hope that at some point, J-Whitt's body will let him at least finish a college football game. Feel awful for him.
  6. BJ unilaterally quit on his coaches in a moment of anger. For the coaches to react by unilaterally quitting on BJ by throwing him off the team in a moment of anger over what he did probably isn't the right way to respond. BJ is an emotional young man who appears to have a lot of growing up to do. The coaches, a group of grown men tasked with helping BJ grow up, need to be better. They should talk to BJ, talk to his family (as I understand he has a good one), talk to the leadership council, and talk to his other teammates. If they decide that it'd be best for BJ and best for the team for BJ to leave the program, then they should help him on his way out. But if they decide that there's a path for BJ to earn back the copious amount of trust he lost this weekend, and he's committed to following that path while accepting the consequences for what he did, then I don't see what's to be gained by kicking him off the team.
  7. Maybe he should take his frustrations out by punching another car.
  8. If he wants to know why he got beat on the depth chart, I think he's answered his own question.
  9. Waiting for them to put Bijan back in like
  10. I hope we don't humiliate ourselves and get everyone fired. LE DO.
  11. I went to grad school at TTU and lived in Lubbock for three years AMA
  12. How would you be able to even tell if someone from Tennessee had COVID? They're already pretty fucking sweaty, confused, and out-of-breath to begin with.
  13. Idk BBWs are definitely in the 'don't knock it 'til you've tried it' category for me, fam.
  14. Yeah anyone who visits this thread needs to quarantine for 14 days afterward
  15. The Great Sam-demic of 2020
  16. At this rate, it won't be long until Manny fails his way into an NFL head coaching gig.
  17. Lmao you're using a fake Instagram post as your smoking gun source. Here's what the post actually looks like: Someone--you?--appears to have copied that Instagram post, pasted it into MS Paint, and typed some unrelated text saying that he didn't die of COVID-19 and signed it 'Family & Friends'. You're an absolute clown.
  18. Denver, what do you make of this explosive new study that was just published?
  19. UT: 45 | UTEP: 17. Horns stumble out of the gate in the first half of the season opener while breaking in new offensive and defensive coordinators. In the first 30 minutes, UT looks like a team that hasn't played a game in 2020 while UTEP looks like a team that played last week. It's still competitive near the end of the half, but once rust is worked off, Texas rattles of a string of TDs followed by three-and-outs. Sam is wearing a headset in the fourth quarter--but not for as long as we would've liked.
  20. If aggy doesn't slow down, they're going to need to buy a bigger trophy case to display all the moral victories they're racking up.
  21. This seems like as good a time as any: I'm new here so what's CR?
